David Bedein, director of the Jerusalem-based Israel Resource News Agency as well as the Center for Near East Policy Research, spoke to Arutz Sheva on Sunday about the rampant European Union (EU) funded illegal Arab construction – and revealed Israel shares the blame.
Research center director reveals Israel partially to blame for illegal EU construction and military plans, due to ‘quiet agreements.’
Much of the illegal EU-funded construction is in Area C of Judea and Samaria, an array of regions designated as being under full Israeli administrative control by the 1994 Oslo Accords, but as Bedein noted other EU-backed illegal building is taking place in Jerusalem.
He said the move stems from an EU decision to recognize all of Judea and Samaria as well as sections of Jerusalem as part of a Palestinian state.
Bedein recalled how back on December 1, 2003, he went to cover the Geneva Initiative peace plan, and found that EU member Graham Watson, who still is a member of the European parliament, was there at the unveiling of the plan.
He noted Watson’s job “is to organize the European strike force, whose purpose is to take over Judea and Samaria together with the Palestinian state militarily.”
At the time Watson told Bedein on the record that “steps would be taken to start building massive building in Judea and Samraia with the Palestinian Authority together with their army,” in comments Bedein published in Makor Rishon and Frontpage Magazine at the time.
The EU has done exactly as Watson said, explained Bedein, who argued it has begun to build a Palestinian army and in addition is building cities for the Palestinian Authority.
Bedein then showed a map from February 2005 “that Israel decided,” which was published on the website of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
The map outlines areas that Israel agreed to cede in February 2005, he explained.
According to Bedein the map was taken “very seriously” by the EU and the IDF Civil Administration.
He warned that not enough people in Israel are aware of the impact of these agreements and the facts on the ground that are being created with the “quiet agreement and approval of the government of Israel.”
In a seeming confirmation of his warning, the government recently quietly approved the EU-funded illegal Arab construction in Area C by telling the Supreme Court it is not a “priority.”
One question is whether BB has ANY red line where he will fight. No. The next question is whether it is now clear that the Arabs and the EU are really determined to ultimately eliminate the State Of Israel. Yes. The last question is whether the Israeli population has lost the will to resist creeping destruction. Ominously in doubt.

BB has no choice but to lie because without his lies, he would never have been elected by the right…. he keeps lying, pretending… and folks here keep believing him in spite of all evidence to the contrary. Its difficult for the mark to admit to the con.
Just as I said: BB has been clandestinely facilitating the illegal building of muslim homes by euros… BB has been illegally bypassing law and trying to hoodwink the Israeli right into thinking that he is pro settlement. In the same way he has no respect for law in that 7 year criminal enterprise in which he illegally participated it is likely that his gov either created the false flag duma arson or coincidentally immediately seized on the timely opportunity to use it to create laws to incarcerate jewish and nationalist opposition to his clandestine anti nationalist agenda.
I find it interesting that Israelis accept his deceits… this guy got the right to vote for him…. while at the same time agreeing to give away YS to the euros and muslims with NO MANDATE to engage in such a crooked enterprise.
Its just like I said… its all starting to ooze out… the fake right wing gov set up to steal the votes of the right and then nueter them like they did Benett and Shaked. Before the last election I gave BB the benefit of the doubt but since then I have no doubt and everyday he proves me correct with his actions….. his words mean nothing, and neither do his lying excuses. What is clearly proven is that he has been engaged in lying to the Israeli public and doing the opposite of what he pretends.
